Well, after a long wait, i finally got a timeslip this weekend. Things didnt go as well as i had hoped, but it worked out decent enough. First off, my trust ol' Red's XP pump took a **** on me shortly after i got the car running, so only 4500rpm and 3psi could be had. Friday night i installed a new walbro 255, and was i ever amazed at how this car moves out over 4k. Anyway, with just a hour or 2 of adjustments being made, i got to the track. It was slick as ice, and I scored some cheap regular radial 255's this week, didnt help much. First run of the day, clipped off a 12.998@115 mph, not a bad way to start, leaving at 1200rpm and letting off on the 1<2 shift when the car went 4 foot to the right. This was followed by a number of runs from 13.000 to 13.5, with mph from 115-118. BTW, my fastes 60' of the day was 2.18, and that was a run i let off on.
So after pulling some timing, chasing some KR, and getting the fueling close, I actually stay in it though the shifts to find out that its pushing through the shift point and smashing the rev limiter at 6400, what the hell, still havent figured that one out. also the same run, i discover my belt likes to take a hike once i pass 6000.
Fastest run of the day:
12.65@120mph. these figures are very close, but i locked my keys and timeslips in the shop today, ill post up concrete #'s tomorrow.
might not seem like much, but you have to consider that this is with a 2.2 60', and 92mph in the 1/8th, pretty sure it was like a 8.4 660', ill be sure to give all #'s tomorrow. once i got into high gear i could really lean into it and get the boost up. max boost was 4psi in 1st, 7psi in 2nd, and 10psi in drive, all runs were made with just wastegate boost, no boost controller was used, and manifold was connected directly to WG, I didnt know how early my tires would hold power, and it ended up working pretty good this way, nice slow and smooth power delivery. Anyway, this car is pretty impressive. I am looking forward to june 28 when i can go to brainerd dragstrip with some slicks and see 11's or better. Please leave comments!
